Driving is full of different maneuvers that, when completed correctly and appropriately, all come together to make safe and confident drivers. Knowing why and how these maneuvers are executed are an essential part of learning how to drive, and continuing to keep your skills on-pointe and refined as an experienced driver.
Stop signs and red lights are easily recognized, but what about different kinds of stop lines? Stop lines are horizontal (transverse) white lines painted across lanes and are used to indicate where a vehicle must stop in compliance with a traffic signal, stop sign, or other specific requirements.
The best tires to purchase will vary depending on what you drive, where you drive, and when you drive! The right time to purchase tires is before your old ones wear beyond use, and when you live somewhere like British Columbia, it’s important to factor in the ever-changing road conditions.
If you’re wondering if parking correctly and safely on a hill is really all that important after your road exam, let us assure you it is! You may be surprised if we told you questions about hill parking are some of the most searched questions online. We’re not surprised either since drivers need to understand which direction the vehicle wheels are to be turned when parking uphill or downhill with a curb or no curb. Never fear, we’re here to put an answer to it all today!
"A special “Thank You” to you. From what I was told, you never let my daughter put her guard down. Good for you.
I appreciate all the hard work and dedication you’ve given to my daughter. I will recommend Valley Driving School to as many people as I can.
Again, “Thank You” to everyone. Who knows…maybe my daughter will be back for other types of drivers training ie: motorcycle, standard, or even semi-trucks. Could happen. She ‘loves’ to drive.
Best regards"

"I just wanted to send along a “Thank You” to all of you at Valley Driving School.
This has been a great experience for both my daughter and myself.
The office staff have been wonderful and always willing and able to sort through scheduling that works for us.
It can be a scary world out there driving our streets and now I know my daughter has been taught properly on how to handle those situations.
She’s a confident relaxed driver and I am a confident relaxed passenger/parent."
"We just wanted to tell you how impressed we were with the professional and thorough instruction our children received over the last several years.
Both kids' instructors were always punctual, polite and patient, giving our kids the knowledge and confidence to drive well and safely. Both passed their 'N' test on the first try. All dealings with the office staff were pleasant as well.
We would not hesitate to recommend Valley Driving to other parents looking for the right place for their children to learn to drive. Please pass our compliments and thanks to instructor! :)
THANK YOU!!!"

"I want to thank my great instructor and helping me overcome my fear of driving.
I have failed the test a couple of times before taking lessons with him and frankly, this is the best investment I have done lately.
He helped me become a better driver, (I will always remember: mirror-signal-shoulder check), have confidence in myself and pass my test.
Great job! Thank you!"
~Lavinia
"Amazing staff!!
I had 5 lessons with my Instructor and he was incredible, clear instructions and always updated on things I needed to do better right when they happened.
It felt like he wanted me to succeed not only because its part of his job, but because he genuinely wanted me to. The cost of the lessons were minimal in comparison to everything I have learned and I passed my road test on my first attempt.
Thanks again!"

"My instructor is kind and patient.
She made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and shaped me into the N driver I am today.
Everyone at Valley Driving School is really nice and welcoming. Also, the classroom is a good learning environment.
I highly recommend this driving school. Everyone I know got lessons there. :)"

The Instructor for the lessons put my child at ease, listened to her concerns and worked with her to make her experience positive. The driving reports sent after every lesson were constructive and helped identify areas to focus on in-between lessons.
My child passed her road test with a perfect drive. I don't think it would have happened without Valley Driving School.

I recently completed the GLP program at Valley Driving School and I couldn't be happier with my experience! My Instructor in the classroom made everything so clear and easy to understand. My on-road Instructor was incredibly patient and supportive throughout the lessons.
Thanks to their excellent guidance I passed my N on the first try and feel confident driving on my own. I highly recommend Valley Driving School to anyone looking for a solid driving education!

We chose Valley Driving School for our son to gain confidence in his driving and experience on the road. His Instructor was very calm, relaxed, honest and knowledgeable.
Our Instructor gave our son the skills he needed to pass his test on the first try. Communication between the Instructor was a 10/10 with upcoming appointments and or changes.
~ Cindy
My Instructor is friendly, chill, educated and always has a smile.To be honest, she always brings positive vibes.
She understands you well, points out your mistakes and explains how to improve. If you don’t understand something she will draw diagrams to show you exactly how to get it right and at the end of each session she writes down points that you need to practice. She never rushes you.
Thanks to her instructions I knew I was going to pass my road test by my last in-car lesson. I have no words to express my gratitude. I highly recommend Valley Driving School.
~ Ayesha
Had a terrific experience with this school. My Instructor was both patient and informative, always ensuring and enforcing habits like shoulder checking and proper signaling.
I'm certain I would not have passed my drivers test without her tutelage!
~ Andrew
My Instructor from Valley Driving School is amazing! She's patient, clear with instructions, her positive attitude and encouragement made learning fun.
She helped me go from feeling nervous behind the wheel to confident and ready for my tests. I passed my road test on the first try and couldn't have passed without her.
~ Carlene
We have used Valley Driving School for 3 of our children and it has been a fantastic experience for all of them.
Great communication, awesome Instructors and all three of my kids passed their first time.
~ Heather
Practice for sure is always different from theory, however, I did find the classroom courses with my Instructors very helpful for situational/theoretical stuff that you could possibly encounter in actual driving.
Thank you Instructors and all Valley Driving School Staff!
